Private cars generally have no upper limit on their service life. 1. Scrapping time: According to the Road Traffic Law of the People's Republic of China, non-commercial vehicles have a scrapping period of 15 years, while motorcycles have a scrapping period of 10 years. Commercial vehicles must undergo mandatory annual inspections, with a scrapping period of 10 years. 2. Service life: The service life for 'private cars' is relatively lenient. According to regulations, non-commercial passenger vehicles with fewer than 9 seats have a normal service life of 16 years, with an extended use period from the 16th to the 20th year, during which they must be inspected twice a year. 3. Different scrapping periods for various vehicles: Other types of vehicles have different scrapping periods. For passenger vehicles, commercial large buses have a normal service life of 10 years, extendable by 2 years, with twice-yearly inspections during this period. Further extensions of 1 to 2 years are possible, totaling a maximum service life of 14 years.
